Tracking technologies are proving to be of much support in
the fleet management. GPS (Global Positioning System) and GLONASS (Global
Navigation Satellite System) are the two most widely used tracking technology in
the fleet business. They give the accurate information and position of the
vehicle irrespective of the area it is. They give this information using the
radio signals emitted by the satellites and then narrow down the search by
connecting with the nearby towers. This gives a clear picture of the present
stand of the vehicle and also of the surrounding.

Using this technologies owner comes to know about the
position of vehicle, the route that it has taken for the destination, he can
also check the speed with which the fleet is traveling, and also where the halts
have been made and also the duration of the halts made. All this information are
critical when they want to insure that their vehicles are not being used for
illegal purposes.

And monitoring them also helps in managing them, as they
can be guided to the right direction and checking them from time to time makes
the driver work fast. Hence the idling time is reduced drastically and the
overtime cost is checked as well. Taking shorter routes and avoiding traffic
also insures that the overall fuel usage has also been decreased.

Managing fleet is the most difficult task in the fleet
business, as any delay can cost the customer and any undesirable act can call
for lawsuits. So it becomes alarmingly necessary that manager keep a close eye
on its vehicle with all the help he can get from the tracking technologies.
These technologies also help in keeping the profile of the driver, and all other
paper work related to the work that has to be completed or that is being
assigned and that is pending.

Tracking fleet management is necessary in order to gain
maximum output from their investment as it not only gives them the power to
monitor but also gives them a command to change things accordingly.
